GETTING INTO SHAPE.
The Board Of Trade Is Now an
Assured Fact.
Fixing the Initiation Fee and
Monthly Dues.
Another Meeting to bs Held To-
Morrow Evening"

A second meeting preliminary to the
organization of u board of trade was held.
last evening in the city hall. The at
tendance was verylarge and the meeting
very satisfactory in its results.
Geo. A. Draper was called to the chair,
while R q. Morris acted as secretary. n-
W. NJ. Mast reported a list of people
iavorinG the organic alton of a board of
trade which is additional to those who
subscribed at the first meeting. There
are now los names on the roll.
Judge Fisher, chairman OF. the commit,
tee on constitution and bylaws. read a
draft of the constitution. The document
reclted that the corporate name woul1 be
the Cheyenne Board of Trade The OBJ
iect was to promote the general prosperity
OF Wyoming and especially of Chey enne
and vicinity; to procure and disseminate
infOrmatioui to aid in the advancement
of trade aud to lease or purchase a suit
able building in which to transact the bus
mess of the organization. The officers
are to be governed by a board of trustees.
and the bylaws to be adopted by a major
ity of the members present.
On motion of Mr. Greentree the con
stitution was taken up section by section
for adoption. After an extended discus
sion it was decided to limit the number of
trustees to nine.
MIR. Roberts moved that the chair ap
point a committee of FIVE to present for
the consideration of the meeting nine
men suitable for trustees. More discus
sion followed as to the advisability of
doing this before the initiation fec WAS
fixed, but the motion finally prevailed.
The naming OF the committee was tenn
porarily postponed.
MIR. Jeffrey moved that the initiation
fee be placed at Sl5 and the annual dues
at $40. Mr.. Weaver amended to make
the Initiation fee S25 up to Jan. l next
and $50 afterward. The consideration of
this vital question aroused general debate,
cx Governor Warren making a stirring
address, and Mr.. Jeffrey speaking brlskly
and to the point. 1t was finally decided
to fix the initiation fee at S2O and the
dues at 81 per month, payable in advance.
The chair then announced the following
committee to select suitable names for
trustees: John Roberts, George G.. Mas
ten, j. K. Jeffrey, John A. Martin and
John f. Carroll.
After many of those present had signed
the roll the meeting was adjourned until
tomorrow evening at 8 O'Clock.

JAILED AGAIN.
lie Roy, the Desperate, Once More
Behind the Bars.
His Desperate Encounter With g
Prison Guard.
Chances That He May Meet His
lust Dues.

LIE Roy, the horse thief, fighter, hold
up and general bad man, once more holds
forth at the county Jail After having
been confined four months and securing
his liberty in a purely accidental manner.
it was thought that this crook would
obliglngly relieve this country of his obi
Gus presence. 1t was lie Roy's love for
the fair sex that led to his second incar-
ceraion. When he was released Satur
day afternoon he asked that he might be
allowed to visit Belle Drurv, the eourtean
who wa held here as a witness in his own
trial. Knowing lie Roy to be a danger
GUS man, Sheriff Shsrpless told him
that be was very fortunate in es-
Gaping the penitentIary, and ordered him
to hit the breeze" at once, and that any
future call he might make would be con.
sidered as an intrusion, and hat should it
become necessary he would be handled
regardless of consequences. The sheriff
remarked as LIE Roy turned away with a
growl that was almost a sure thing that
the authorities would be compelled 10
deal with him again.
At | O'Clock Sunday morning lie Roy
was driven from the court house yard by
a guard who had been placed there in
anticipation OF his visit. but was not seen
again until Sunday afternoon. when it was
observed that he had been drinking hesy-
ily. Sunday evening he was at the depot
at train time, expecting that his lady love
would depart for Laramie, in which event
he intended following her. She did not
go, and Lee Roy appeared greatly drsap
pointed, but said nothing.
About 9 O'Clock Sunday evening Deputy
Sheriff Smalley observed lie Roy moving
up Ferguson street in the direction of the
court house. Knowing that he would
hesitate at nothing in order to secure the
release of Belle Drury, the officer hurried
after him, and arrived at the jail yard just
in time to see lie hoy and a guard en-
gagged in a desperate encounter, the horse
thief having severely bitten the hand Of
the guard. The deputy at once inter
fered and conveyed lie Roy to his old cell
inside.
The two saws with which LIE Roy at.
tempted to cut his way to liberty are now
in the possession of the sheriff. They are
manufactured from steel shoe shanks and
will cut cast iron readily. 1t is said LIE
Roy is an expert m%achinist, and could
have released the whom he wished
to secure had he been allowed to work for
a single hour without interruption.
In the event that witnesses can be Sc
cured, and they probably can be, LIE Roy
will be tried for highway robbery, he hav-
ing held up a man near Chugwater a
few weeks previous to his horse stealing
escapade. Immediately upon his rele Use
last Saturday LIE Roy was heard to make
dire threats against the parties who had
testified against him, saving among Other
things that he would get even" with
Malcolm Campbell, deputy sheriff of Al
bany county. 1t is well for all concerned
that this desperate is once more in Gus
tody.

SENSATION IN A CHURCH.
A crsnk's Peculiar AutIcs IN a Place of
Worship.

A gray haired man of perhaps SO years
of age created a sensation at the evening
service in st. Marks Episcopal church
Sunday. He occupied a seat in the front
part OF the church and in the early por.
ton OF the service broke down and wept
with extraordinary violence. This fit
over, he walked out of his pew and paced
along the aisle. Finally, when a hymn
was started he walked up to the orgauist,
Prof. lnman, and glanc. ny over his shout
der seemed TO take a good deal Ct comfort
from reading the music. At the conclu-
sion of the hymn he walked quietly back
to his seat and resumed an appearance of
intense interest in everything that trans
pired. When the closing hymn was
started he arose suddenly from his seat
and going inside the chancel walked di.
rectly up to DR.. Rafter. The doctor
shared With the range his hymn book
which the latter seemed disposed to make
the most of. He sang with a great deal
of fervor aud vigor and at the conclusion
of the hymn again marched solemnly back
to his pew.
As may be imagined the peculiar actions
of the man created a good deal of a sensa,
ton. he was simply a harmless crank
and at n time exhibited a disposition tc
be violent.

THE SWAN
Movements In the Case In the District
Court Yesterday.

What is now generally referred to as
the Swan assignment CASE occupied a
greater part of the time during the three
sessions OF the district court yesterday,
The questions of the lawyers on either
side were almost invariably objected to by
the opposing attorneys. There was a
large audience present when Ferdinand
w. Lafrentz, bookkeeper and confidential
clerk for the firm, took the stand. He
was questioned at length concerning his
relations with the firm, and in what capa-
city he acted with regard to certain notes,
and particularly a note for $25 900 held
by the First National bank and endorsed
bylMr. Lafrentz. The memory of the
witness was very defective in regard to the
instrument. He did not remember who
drew1the note, but upon its presentation
stated that the handwriting was his own,
and that when endorsing it he had done
SO as a mere matter of form, and had net
understood that he assumed any pecuniary
responsibility. Ex, Chief Justice Lacey
then offered the note in evidence. Attor
ney Sewers was instantly on his feet and
objected s~trenuously and vehementy to
such q procedure, and took occasion to re-
mark that in accepting the paper in con
troyersy the First National bank, and
especially Mr. Hicks, had violated the
laws of the United States providing that
such institutions shall not lend mone on
notes to exceed 10 per cent of their CAPT
tai stock. Willis Va~ndevanter made him.
self heard long enough to explain that
Alex. III. Swan was the vice president of
the corporation which had SO hagrantly
disobeyed the statutes, and that the note
should be admitted as evidence, it being
both relevant and material to the ques.
ton in hand, and Judge Maginnis so
ruled.
At the evening session Mr.. Alex. H.
Swan was questioned as to the assets of
the firm at the time of failure. He ex-
planned in a general way that their prop
erty consisted of real estate. mining
stocks, stocks in cattle companies, ETC.,
but was unable to give exact amount from
memory. He was requested by counsel
for the plaintiff to furnish a memorandum
of these assets at the next session of
court. Objected to by defendants. After
a somewhat heated discussion by the at
torneys the objection was overruled.
AT 9 o'clock court adjourned till $50
this morning. when a list of the assets of
the firm will probably be presented BY
Alex. II. Swan.

Frederick A. Starring has filed a petit
ton with the clerk of the district court,
praying that he be granted a divorce from
Olivia q. Starring, alleging that the de-
PENDANT deserted him on the Both day of
July, 1885, at Luc Sur Mer, France, and
has persistently refused to live with him
since, although he has frequently offered
to support and maintain her in a manner
BETTING her standing in society. The
ladv, according to the document, objected
to Mr.. Starring's company, and possess
ing large means of her own, travelled
always in the opposite direction to her
husband. The petition concludes with
the statement that she perpetrated such
indignities upon the defendant as to make
life to him unbearable and undesirable.
Altogether the document reads very
smoothly and genteelly. The parties
were married in London in November,
1874.

Assessor Fisher banded the county clerk
the assessment roll for 1887 yesterday
morning. The property listed foots up
$8,0l6,677.59 as against 81, 1886, 928. 81
last year. The assessment for 1887 in
cludes the Cheyenne & Northern and Col.
orado Central railroads, but not the Union
Pacific or Wyoming Central, as these cor
porations will be handled by the territorial
board. The property of the Western
Union Telegraph company will also be
assessed by the latter board. Last year
tho revised valuation amounted to So
076, OOO. Competent judges say that it
will reach at least 81 900, 900 for 1887.
The county commissioners met as a board
of equalization yesterday, and will con-
tlnue SO to do for the ensuing fifteen days.
1t is said that nearly every valuation re-
turned by the assessor will be literally
advanced, ranches and uuimproved rail-
road lands receiving particular attention.

The best game OF the season was played
at the fair grounds Sunday. The soldiers
by constant practice, have become re.
markably good ielders and the manner in
which they handle a batted ball is very
satisfactory to lovers of the sport. The
features of the game were the fine running
catches by Calvin and Sherry and the ex-
cellent work OF Erswell at short. The
scores to 6-is the smallest ever known
in the territory, and will compare favora-
bly, with a great many league games. The
attendance was small, although the wealth
er was fine, and the game interesting and
exciting at all times. In the fifth inning
Rapp made a magnificent hit to center
Geld and was loudly cheered as he reached
the home plate. The Laramie club will

Suspicious OF His Boots.

1t does look as IL after a man got
married he lost all carability of looking
after himself. We knew q man who
had been married several years and he
hardly knows how to ,button his collar
now, and would wear his coat inside
out if his wife didn't keep an eye on
him. Once this young man noticed his
boots were pretty vel. worn. he said
to his wife;
Haven't / got any other boots 1 can
wear? These are awful"
Eyes," she said; ''there is q pair Of
side button boots In the closet there"
He fetched them out.
"How does it come that I've had
these boots all this time and been wear
ing these worn-out ones?" Then he
put them on. Eyes, L knew there
must be something the matter with the
blamed boots. They don't ct me at all.
l can't.yalk IN them.'5 And he made
faces as We stamped UP and down the
room. "They are not my boots, yet
they are a mAp's boots. Madam, who
is so familiar in this house as to have a
pair of boots"
well, dear. they'll perhaps be more
comfortable IL yot'li PUT the right booi

A Contumacious Subject.

Upon his throne the mighty king
His gallant courtier kneeling round
Impatient, tapped his signet ring
And said some new. divertiDg thing
For his 2musement must be found.
Then spoke an old aud trusty knight:
"May I my kings indulgence crave,
To bring within the royal sight
A subject who denies the right
OF any king to call him slave?"
"How uow?" the angry monarch said.
"Who dare deny our sovereign power?
Go, fetch him here, alive or dead;
The fool shall bow or lose his head
Within she passing of the hour
The knight retired with solemn stride.
Then anne q page, all sleek and trim,
To say the queen would sit beside
Her lord and see this traitor tried
If he, the king, INDUCED the within.
The queen came In and took her place;
The taby boy upon her breast,
Unheedful of the treason case.
Looked bravely on the mouarch's face
Aud snatched away his jeweled crest.
He crushed the kings symbolic rose,
Upset the sceptre with a crash;
He even tweaked the monarch's nose
And kicked him with his tiny toes,
The while he pulled his fierce nustache
All others at the kings behest
Their serfdom hastened to declare;
The babe alone, with freedom blest,
Defied the king who ruled the rest
Most potent he the weakest there.

Queer Love Letter.

Charlie had a queer smile on his face
as he left me III the morning. 1 told
him that l had intended to make a
call with Mrs. WicklIffe, but had moth.
ing to wear. He laughed and told me
that l must get along for awhile with
what 1 had; that he wa making too
little money to buy anything.
81 won't be home at the usual
time" he said at the door, ''for / am
expecting some friends" l wondered
at his manner, and after he had gone
sat down and had a good cry by my
self.
After l had sobbed myself into a
better frame of mind, | went out and
got down Charles common coat TO
mend it. l emptied out the pockets
frs t and then got out nay needle.
What a mixture there was in those
pockets. Three or four handKerchiefs,
broken cigars, pencils, buttons and
part of a letter. A letter.
l looked at that letter suspiciously.
Then 1 did a mean thing, l opened 1t
and read it.
1t was penned in feminine chirogra-
ply and ran as follows;
DEAR CHARLIE:-The dresses are
all ready and the navy blue is exqui-
site. l shall CONF on Thursday, the
10th. Be sure aud meet me at the
station, and for goodness sakeI keep
the whole thing a secret.
There the sheet was torn off. l read
these lines over and over, lost In Won
der. What woman has "A right to ad-
dress my husband as "Dear Charlie2"

know Mrs. Wickliffe must have no
ticed it when she came in.
